Song 446 Tyisha Cuts My Hair

20041832_sPlease Note: This song has not yet been recorded.

I happened upon a great hairstylist at my local Super Cuts. She was a beautiful, positive African American woman named Tyisha and she was damn good at giving me haircuts. She was also funny and sassy. She had quit a nursing career to do something she loved. And it showed. I write songs about all kinds of crazy stuff and this song is fun and light and jazzy and for me honors a person who probably gets little  appreciation for her quite greatness (except tips). It’s on the list of songs that NEED to be recorded…. so it shall happen soon. Thanks for your patience!

But more importantly is there someone in your life who is so good at what they do that it inspires you to sing about them? Give it a try! Just say the thing they do so well over and over to yourself until the rhythm and melody begin to come out of the words… give it a shot it’s a lot of fun!

Tyisha Cuts My Hair

Song # 446 | 5/16/12 | CD:

Tyisha cuts my hair
Tyisha cuts my hair
Tyisha has a lovely pair of…
scissors…
With which she delivers..
the…

Perfect cut every time…

When Tyisha cuts my hair
I know that I look fine, just fine, just fine…

No appointment necessary
Ant th’as convenine tif she’s not too busy
And I’m not in too much of a hurry on
a wednedsday afternoon…

Can you fit me in soon?
If not that’s okay I’ll run some
Errands and I’ll be back or I’ll just read all the magazines
In this stack in the waiting room…

Tyisha cuts my hair
Tyisha cuts my hair
Tyisha has a lovely pair of…
scissors…
With which she delivers..
the…

Perfect cut every time…

Tyisha cuts my hair…

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

Love your lyrics!

Love your music! Love your lyrics!

Robin Bridgeford

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

J

Your music is taking over my life and it’s awesome!

Eric
